      fs: brlock vfsmount_lock · 99b7db7b

      fs: brlock vfsmount_lock
      
      Use a brlock for the vfsmount lock. It must be taken for write whenever
      modifying the mount hash or associated fields, and may be taken for read when
      performing mount hash lookups.
      
      A new lock is added for the mnt-id allocator, so it doesn't need to take
      the heavy vfsmount write-lock.
      
      The number of atomics should remain the same for fastpath rlock cases, though
      code would be slightly slower due to per-cpu access. Scalability is not not be
      much improved in common cases yet, due to other locks (ie. dcache_lock) getting
      in the way. However path lookups crossing mountpoints should be one case where
      scalability is improved (currently requiring the global lock).
      
      The slowpath is slower due to use of brlock. On a 64 core, 64 socket, 32 node
      Altix system (high latency to remote nodes), a simple umount microbenchmark
      (mount --bind mnt mnt2 ; umount mnt2 loop 1000 times), before this patch it
      took 6.8s, afterwards took 7.1s, about 5% slower.

      fs: remove extra lookup in __lookup_hash · b04f784e

      fs: remove extra lookup in __lookup_hash
      
      Optimize lookup for create operations, where no dentry should often be
      common-case. In cases where it is not, such as unlink, the added overhead
      is much smaller than the removed.
      
      Also, move comments about __d_lookup racyness to the __d_lookup call site.
      d_lookup is intuitive; __d_lookup is what needs commenting. So in that same
      vein, add kerneldoc comments to __d_lookup and clean up some of the comments:
      
      - We are interested in how the RCU lookup works here, particularly with
        renames. Make that explicit, and point to the document where it is explained
        in more detail.
      - RCU is pretty standard now, and macros make implementations pretty mindless.
        If we want to know about RCU barrier details, we look in RCU code.
      - Delete some boring legacy comments because we don't care much about how the
        code used to work, more about the interesting parts of how it works now. So
        comments about lazy LRU may be interesting, but would better be done in the
        LRU or refcount management code.

      vfs: only add " (deleted)" where necessary · ffd1f4ed
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      __d_path() has 4 callers:
      
        d_path()
        sys_getcwd()
        seq_path_root()
        tomoyo_realpath_from_path2()
      
      Of these the only one which needs the " (deleted)" ending is d_path().
      
      sys_getcwd() checks for existence before calling __d_path().
      
      seq_path_root() is used to show the mountpoint path in
      /proc/PID/mountinfo, which is always a positive.
      
      And tomoyo doesn't want the deleted ending.
      
      Create a helper "path_with_deleted()" as subsequent patches will need
      this in multiple places.

      vfs: __d_path: dont prepend the name of the root dentry · 98dc568b
      Miklos Szeredi 提交于
      In the old times pseudo-filesystems set the name of theroot dentry to
      some prefix like "pipe:" and the name of the child dentry to "[123]"
      and relied on a hack in __d_path() to replace the preceding slash with
      the root's name to get "pipe:[123]".
      
      Then the d_dname() dentry operation was introduced which solved the
      same problem without having to pre-fill the name in each dentry.
      
      Currently the following pseudo filesystems exist in the kernel:
      
      perfmon
      mtd
      anon_inode
      bdev
      pipe
      socket
      
      Of these only perfmon, anon_inode, pipe and socket create
      sub-dentries, all of which have now been switched to using d_dname().
      
      bdev and mtd only create inodes.
      
      This means that now the hack to overwrite the slash can be removed, so
      for unreachable paths (e.g. within a detached mount) the path string
      won't be polluted with garbage.  For these cases a subsequent patch
      will add a prefix, indicating that the path is unreachable.

      mm: add context argument to shrinker callback · 7f8275d0
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback
      to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink
      caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
      structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure
      in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the
      callback via container_of().

      fs: fix superblock iteration race · 57439f87
      npiggin@suse.de 提交于
      list_for_each_entry_safe is not suitable to protect against concurrent
      modification of the list. 6754af64 introduced a race in sb walking.
      
      list_for_each_entry can use the trick of pinning the current entry in
      the list before we drop and retake the lock because it subsequently
      follows cur->next. However list_for_each_entry_safe saves n=cur->next
      for following before entering the loop body, so when the lock is
      dropped, n may be deleted.

      sched: Pull up the might_sleep() check into cond_resched() · 613afbf8
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      might_sleep() is called late-ish in cond_resched(), after the
      need_resched()/preempt enabled/system running tests are
      checked.
      
      It's better to check the sleeps while atomic earlier and not
      depend on some environment datas that reduce the chances to
      detect a problem.
      
      Also define cond_resched_*() helpers as macros, so that the
      FILE/LINE reported in the sleeping while atomic warning
      displays the real origin and not sched.h
      
      Changes in v2:
      
       - Call __might_sleep() directly instead of might_sleep() which
         may call cond_resched()
      
       - Turn cond_resched() into a macro so that the file:line
         couple reported refers to the caller of cond_resched() and
         not __cond_resched() itself.
      
      Changes in v3:
      
       - Also propagate this __might_sleep() pull up to
         cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq()

      shrink struct dentry · c2452f32
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's
      sad to see it going neglected.
      
      With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least
      for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here
      (64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab.
      
      I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline
      name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This
      shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the
      length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on...
      
      I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant:
      why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash
      size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast
      dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how
      can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after
      get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection.
      
      At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system
      with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get
      nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry
      will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it
      would require 4.
      
      I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the
      reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast
      to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and
      faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are
      <= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for
      33-36 byte names.
      
      Performance is a feature...
